Richard Finnerman of the Houston office of NAI PartnersCommercial represented locally based All American Trading in theacquisition of the single-user building at 6622 Supply Row. SellerJack Muhlstein was looking to lease instead of own, Finnerman tellsGlobeSt.com. Muhlstein's company makes awnings and window shades.It will be relocating to East Park, just off Homestead and theNorth Loop.

Finnerman says All American Trading's new spot came with all theright stuff: 18-foot clear heights, masonry exterior and dock-highstyling. The structure is a prime catch since it's located insidethe Loop, a high-demand location ideally suited for distributionpurposes. The building is tucked between Polk Street and WaysideDrive.

Finnerman has noticed industrial space in the city'seast-southeast sector provides affordable space and no compromises.In southwest Houston, he says the price for a building comparableto All American Trading's would be much higher. Thus, theeast-southeast corridor is fertile ground for industrial userslooking to buy.
